Pirate Orochi 145D

Orochi depicts "Yamata no Orochi", or simply "Orochi"; the mythical 8-headed and 8-tailed dragon. Its design is three snake heads, side-by-side, are glaring at the front. Each snake features reptilian scales and reptilian eyes; all white with no visible pupils. They also have two sharp fangs nearby. The snake in the center curves to the right, in a slithering such manner; while the remaining two are parallel to one another. All three snakes are purple with a yellow color covering the cut, gaps, and everywhere else in the detail. It is all outlined in a thick black whilst on a Metal Face Bolt.

Warrior Wheel: Orochi (オロチ)

Weight: 29.3 grams

This Warrior Wheel consists of a ring circled by multiple snakes. These engraved serpents create small protrusions all around Orochi, like a gear. Following the characteristic of all Shogun Steel Beyblades, Orochi has a hole for the Element Wheel's orb to protrude into, and two snake heads encase it from each side with their fangs. Some swirly designs exist in the inner part of this Warrior Wheel, all the way down to the opposite side of the crystal, where a menacing face is formed. Made to resemble a snake's head in a front view, two evil eyes are engraved as well as small fangs near the edge of Orochi, and that big head's apparent mustaches are prolonged to become the many small serpents encircling the rest of the Warrior Wheel. This wheel could be useful for defense in the synchrom combo MSF-H/MSF Orochi-Kraken GB145/ED145RS/CS. Also most parts are covered by serpents and/or sea snakes.

Rotating head produces a centrifugal force of 6 serpent animals outside the center of gravity, crawling at the end of the Wheel.

Element Wheel: Pirate

Weight: 3.8 grams

The Pirate Element Wheel mirrors the Orochi Warrior Wheel in size almost perfectly, which gives Pirate Orochi 145D more Stamina in the Cyclone Stadium. It depicts many different etchings related to actual pirate. On it is shown a skull, the ocean, a tentacle of a sea creature, and a mast of a ship. It is translucent blue in color.

Spin Track: 145

Weight: 1.4 grams

145 is the fourth (after 160, TH170 and 230) highest Spin Track available, along with the various other 145-variants (C145, DF145, AD145, TR145, ED145, UW145, BD145, WD145, SW145, CH120/145, R145, GB145, Etc.). It can be used in Stamina customs to great effect due to its tall height, which allows for more wobbling as the Beyblade loses its spin velocity, but that being said, DF145 and UW145 has this same effect but also the added bonus of its “Down Force” which while negligible, stabilizes the Beyblade it is being used on slightly. 145, being as tall as, makes it easily susceptible to low Attackers; however, this should not be seen as a drawback because normally, Stamina types are not to be used against Attack types. The other three are the 160 Spin Track (Guardian Leviathan), TH170 Spin Track (Beat Lynx), or the 230 Spin Track (Flame Byxis) which are taller than the 145 Spin Track. TH170 outclasses it since its 170 has more Defense but does not wobble like 230. 145 has shown great Attack potential in the combo: MF Pegasus 145RF.

Performance Tip: Defense

Weight: 0.6 grams

This is a Defense Bottom, which acts as a wider version of a Sharp tip. When hit by an opponent, a Beyblade with this Bottom will have lessened recoil and will recover from attacks more efficiently than a Sharp Tip. However, while recovering, the Defense Bottom will cause the Beyblade to lose some Stamina, caused by the added friction. However, it is easier to knock over than WD, yet harder to knock over than SD.

In the Japanese Anime, Orochi's beast is seen with 8 snake heads, one with a pirate hat, 6 looking menacingly, and one appearing as the ship. In the English dub, Orochi's beast is seen with only one snake dressed as a pirate wielding snake-like weapons. It is due to the fact that the English dub used the original planning for the beast.

Origin

Pirates Orochi is based on the mythical creature, Yamata no Orochi. Yamata no Orochi (八岐の大蛇), or simply Orochi, was a Japanese dragon told in Izumo mythology of the Shinto religion, which was slain by Susanoo, the Shinto God of the Sea and Storm. Orochi had 8 heads and 8 tails and as such Yamata no Orochi literally meant "8-branched giant snake". Pirate Orochi references Yamata no Orochi by its motif, the eight snake-heads on the Orochi Warrior Wheel, as well as the large, Orochi face on the Warrior Wheel.

Name origin

Pirate refers to the infamous bandits that commit piracy. As of which, is the act of robbery or criminal violence at sea. The name is fitting with Orochi and the Bey's owner, Eight Unabara because Susanoo was the God of Sea, who slayed Orochi, and Eight has an elemental likening to water; while Unabara (海原) is Japanese for the "sea".
